Absolute Path Name Delimiter Set

Definition

Specifies any absolute path requiring certain delimiters to separate directory names (or their equivalent) from each other and from the file name.

Required Values

Enter the delimiters for the absolute path, starting from the left, for:

Initial (left-most) directory delimiter
Intermediate directory delimiters
Initial (left-most) file name delimiter
Optionally, the ending (right-most) file name delimiter

Wherever there is no specific delimiter, use “\0” (backslash zero) to act as a placeholder. Delimiters that are backslashes need to be escaped with another backslash (see Table 56).

OS	Path Name Format	Delimiter Set
		1	2	3	4	Enter
UNIX	`/dir1/dir2/file.ext`	/	/	/		///
Windows	`C:\dir1\dir2\file.ext`	\\	\\	\\		\\\\\\
VMS	`disk1:[dir1.dir2]file.ext;1`	[	.	]	;	[.];
MVS PDS	`dir1.dir2`(member)	\0	.	(	)	\0.()
MVS Sequential	`dir1.dir2.filename`	\0	.	.		\0..
MVS GDG	`dir1.dir2.file(version#)` (see Note)	\0	.	.		\0..
AS400	`dir1/file.ext`	\0	/	.		\0/.

Above, version # = 0 for current, +1 for new, -1 (-2, -3, etc.) for previous generations.
